Chapter 108: Response

In the 47-year history of the Nobel Prize, Zhou Nan is the youngest winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature. Before him, the youngest winner, Rudyard Kipling, was already 42 years old.

Therefore, Zhou Nan's award is both reasonable and unexpected.

Zhou Nan's "General History of the World", "Humanitarianism", including "The Diary of Anne Frank" are enough to make him an award. But he is too young, and everyone is still speculating that the Swedish Academy of Letters may not give him the award until Zhou Nan is thirty years old.

No one expected that the Swedish Academy would withstand the pressure and directly award the literary prize to him.

According to the award speech, the reason why Zhou Nan won the award this time was because of the book "General History of the World", "Humanitarianism" only mentioned it in passing, and "Anne Frank's Diary" did not mention it.

However, this is also normal, because in the first few decades of the Literary Awards, almost all the writers who relied on their works to win awards were masterpieces of humanities and history. Those popular writers won awards, more in recognition of their past literary contributions.

In fact, this has not changed until later generations, because the compulsion is too low compared to the humanities and history monographs.

Most of those award-winning artists did not win awards for one work, and they were all when they were dying, or that the peak of creation had passed, a recognition for their past.

It's a bit like the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Oscars.

But Zhou Nan is only 25 years old this year, and so far, he has only published three works. No one is sure whether Zhou Nan will create another masterpiece that shocks the world in the future. Give him the Literary Prize now, but what about later?

If Zhou Nan writes ten more historical and humanistic masterpieces, will he win the Nobel Prize in Literature?

This is not cabbage!

Caroline didn't care about this, she only knew that her child had won the Nobel Prize in Literature, which was already the highest award in the world, and she was sincerely proud and proud.

She called every family and friend, sent a telegram to announce the news, and held a lively celebration party for Zhou Nan.

However, Zhou Nan's award caused a bigger sensation in Switzerland, and the Swiss government contacted Zhou Nan as soon as he won the award to celebrate him, and he had to return to Switzerland immediately to participate in various celebrations.

This time, Yannick and Caroline returned to Switzerland with their family. It is conceivable that in the coming period, the Jonas Farm in Zhounan will be very lively.

At the Lakeside High School in Lucerne, Switzerland, the French grammar class of the third class had not yet ended, and Mr. Filton, the good old headmaster, who was loved by many students, couldn't wait to come to the classroom.

He rushed to the podium, but startled Teacher Lishang, but at this time, the old man could no longer care about comforting her, and facing his classmates, he quickly found the outstanding Audrey in the crowd.

"Good morning, students. Just after the international channel of the radio broadcast the latest news from the Swedish Academy, Jonas Hoffmann Week, the pride of our Lucerne, won this year's Nobel Prize in Literature. ”

The news immediately detonated the classroom, and the teenage people immediately cheered, thinking about Audrey's congratulations, who was already a little overwhelmed with joy and could only laugh silly.

For students, the Nobel Prize is so far away, but everyone knows that it is the highest temple of academics.

Zhou Nan is Swiss, a native of Lucerne, and his young wife is even his classmate. Therefore, these students have long regarded him as their own person and their pride.

Facing the congratulations of her classmates and teachers, Audrey was dizzy, not knowing how many unequal treaties she had promised.

It wasn't until school at noon that she realized that she was so dizzy that she agreed to hold a celebration party on the farm.

When I went home at noon to talk to Kelly, Kelly smiled and said, "Jonas is a great joy to win, of course we have to celebrate." I started to prepare in the afternoon, and in the evening you called your classmates and teachers over as guests. ”

When Zhou Nan and the others returned home from Germany, they saw that the celebration of Jonas Farm had already begun.

Of course, Zhou Nan has no opinion on this, in fact, he has always felt that Audrey's life circle is a little small. She is eighteen years old and about to go to college, and she should also have her own social circle, circle of friends.

And so far, except for her classmates, most of her life circles have been established with Zhou Nan.

In the face of these high school students and high school teachers, Zhou Nan didn't have the slightest, and played with them until midnight before ending the celebration.

But at this time, Zhou Nan didn't have time to sleep, but came to Sennar's villa to arrange the next day's work.

The award was just announced today, and the response from around the world has yet to return. Tomorrow, newspapers, radio, and television stations around the world will report the news.

And there will be more congratulatory messages from all walks of life, and tomorrow will be a busy day.

In the dead of night, Zhou Nan returned to the bedroom, but Audrey had not slept yet, and teased Claudio about little Erwyn who didn't sleep in the middle of the night.

Seeing Zhou Nan come back, Claudio picked up little Erwin and said, "I'm going back to my room." Brother Jonas, you have to rest early, tomorrow you will be very tired. ”

I don't know what topics the two women discussed together, Zhou Nan always felt that her smile was full of teasing, and Audrey was a little shy.

When she came out of the bedroom, Audrey was finally able to throw herself into Zhou Nan's arms without any worries, put her arms around his neck, and gave him a fragrant kiss. "Congratulations, dear."

Although Zhou Nan was also very happy, he said modestly at this time: "Even if there is no Nobel Prize, no one can deny the greatness of my work, and the current award only recognizes my work on behalf of the society." ”

Audrey said seriously: "Jonas, the recognition of the Nobel Prize will make the "General History of the World" an excellent work recognized by the world, and the debate about your book in society will also come to an end." The Swiss Ministry of Education has made the General History of the World a compulsory history course in high schools, and more and more countries will do so in the future. ”

Zhou Nan nodded uncomfortably and kissed her on the mouth again. After a long kiss, he smiled and asked, "Your classmates didn't think my course was too difficult?" ”

"On the contrary, your book is a textbook, more interesting than other history books," she said crookedly. Are you sure...... Are you sure you want to keep talking to me about these academic issues now? ”

Zhou Nan laughed, picked her up, walked a few steps quickly, and threw her on the bed. "No, now let's check how well you've learned your dual cultivation skills......

……

……

When he woke up the next day, Zhou Nan suppressed his excitement and conducted a morning exercise according to his usual habits, and then rode Albert on the farm for two laps before sending Audrey to school.

In the Villa Sennar, all the assistants are present here today, and the telegraph is constantly working, receiving congratulatory messages from all over the world.

Both Stolko and Etini were particularly excited today, constantly on the phone and collecting news from various European countries.

"More than 60 media outlets in France today published the news that Jonas had won the award, and they all thought that Jonas deserved your award."

"The British Academy of Letters, the British Historical Society, the Royal Institute of International Relations, and the British royal family have all sent congratulatory messages, congratulating Jonas on your award."

"Jonas, the Soviet Kremlin also sent a congratulatory message, and it was His Excellency Strongman who personally congratulated you on winning the award......"

"Jonas, there are already more than fifty media outlets that want to interview you, and there are now a large number of media reporters outside Jonas Farm."

"Jonas, Congress wants you to arrange a speech in the near future and promote your book as a textbook."

"Jonas, the major publishing houses want to be able to reprint your various editions of the book, and your award this time will definitely greatly boost the sales of the book."

"Jonas, a Chinese publishing house in Star City hopes to publish your Chinese version of the book, and hopes to get the Chinese manuscript written by you yourself."

"Jonas, the Dutch Parliament has officially issued an invitation to the Dutch Military Wilhelm Medal on January 1st, and I hope we can arrange a good time."

All morning, Zhou Nan was dealing with all kinds of trivial affairs, and everyone's faces were beaming.

Most people are just excited, and only Stolko can see the hidden content behind the award and the increased influence after winning the award.

Zhou Nan doesn't value interests, but just fame. The Nobel Prize in Literature is like a glittering coat that can make Zhou Nan's reputation recognized by the world, which also strengthens his academic status.

Therefore, the benefit of winning this award for Zhou Nan is not only to sell a few more books, but also to the world's recognition of Zhou Nan.

Because of the relationship between the founding of South China, the relationship between Zhou Nan and the East has not been harmonious in recent times. Stolko has always been very worried that if this continues, it will affect the suppression of Zhou Nan by the Eastern political bloc led by the Soviet Union.

Nanhua's position is biased towards the West, which is due to the historical reason that Nanhua was still under Dutch occupation. Originally, Nanhua was biased towards the West, and it would not matter anything about Zhou Nan.

But Zhou Nan had too much influence in the process of the founding of South China. It can be said that without the appearance of Zhou Nan, it would have been absolutely impossible for those red parties to compromise and change the names of their parties and re-establish their own party constitutions.

Therefore, Zhou Nan has also become a thorn in the side of the Eastern political bloc. Now that Zhou Nan has won the award, at least it can make his safety more secure.

No matter how much the strongman appreciates Zhou Nan, it is only a personal relationship, and in the face of national interests, nothing cannot be sacrificed.
